Default Replaced rims
I replaced the black powder coated rims with stock Harley chrome rims. Really sets off the orange and black on the bike.

The handlebars are 12" Hill Country apes. My hands are just above my shoulders. Just enough for me. The pipes are Cobra slashcuts.

I am 6' and my 12" bars are about 2" lower than my shoulders. I guess depending on how tall your risers are and your height will determine high your hands will be.
